Nothing to Lose Page #8

Synopsis: When a man (Robbins) believes he has discovered that his wife is having an affair with his boss, it sets off a chain reaction of events. First he wanders into a ghetto where a robber (Lawrence) tries to take his money at gunpoint, but instead sets a wild ride from California to Arizona. The two eventually become reluctant friends. Discussing robbery techniques, they decide to get back at the boss by robbing an office safe containing hundreds of thousands of dollars. Life is further complicated by another pair of robbers who chase the first two for infringing on their territory.

Stop.

What'd I do?

- Run, run!

- Stay down, Nick. Get on outta here.

I'll beat you into the...

See you when you get there

Now I seen places and faces of things

you ain't never thought about thinkin'

If you ain't peeked then you

must be drinkin'and smokin'

Pretendin'that you're locin'

but you're broken, let me get you open

Now, little Timmy got his diploma

and littleJimmy got life

And Tamica around the corner

just took her first hit off the pipe

The other homey shot the other homey

and ran off with his money

And when the other homeys heard

about it they thought that it was funny

But who's the dummy 'cause now

you done lost a hustler

A down-ass brother

done replaced by a bustler

And though I got love for ya

I know I can't trust ya

'Cause my crew is rollin'numbers

and your crew is rollin'dusters

And just because of that you act

like you don't like a brother no more

I guess that's just

the way you go

I ain't tryin'to preach, I believe

I can reach but your mind ain't prepared

I see ya when you get there

I'll see you

when you get there

If you ever get there

See you when you get there

I'll see you

when you get there

If you ever get there

See you when you get there

More temptation and fate

I guess we livin'for today

I seen a man get swept off his feet

by a bull with an AK

The situation's so twisted

everybody gettin'lifted

I'm just tryin'to take care

of my kids and handle my business

'Cause it's way too serious

so you gotta pay close attention

So you don't get caught slippin'

when they come to do all the gettin'

Life is a big game so you gotta

play it with the big boys

Some of us gotta run a little faster

'cause we gotta lay the straw

But I'd be a fool to surrender

when I know I can be a contender

If everybody's ascended

then everybody can be a winner

No matter your rag color

Deep down we all brothers

And we gonna set a time

Somebody up there still love us

I'm gonna scuffle and struggle with ya

I'm breathless and weak

I done strived my whole life

to make it to the mountain peak

Always keep reachin'

Sure to grab onto somethin'

I'll be there when you get there

waitin' with the sounds bumpin'

I'll see you

when you get there

If you ever get there

See you when you get there

I'll see you

when you get there

If you ever get there

See you when

you get there

As we walk down the road

of our destiny

And the time comes to choose

which shall it be

The wide and crooked

or the straight and narrow

We got one voice to give

and one life to live

Stand up for somethin'

or lay down in the game

Listen to the song

that we sing

It's up to you

to make your beef

I guess I'll see you

when you see me

I'll see you

When you get there

If you wanna get there

- I'll see you

- I'll see you

- When you get there

- When you get there

- If you wanna get there

- If you really

- I'll see you

- I'll see you

- When you get there

- When you get there

- If you wanna get there

- If you really

I'll see you

When you get there
